NYC Brunch Spots: Where To Take Your Bitches

Sarabeth's Kitchen: The Food

Drinks: To start, we ordered mimosas, of which there were many to choose from. The great thing about the mimosas is they bring the flavor in a separate glass along with a mini bottle of champagne, so you can mix it how you please. Also, there’s a strawberry on the top of each glass. Perfection, as I prefer my champagne with just a drop of orange and a strawberry. We both ordered J. Roget Mimosas. I had mine with orange, of course. But you can get it with cranberry, four flowers, or mango. Shellie had the four flowers, which was red and sweet like a Kir Royale. Also, they serve fresh Bellinis and pickled house Bloody Marys, and the Marys at the table next to us looked extremely impressive (read: rather enormous). Main Courses: The menu is gorgeous, and offers everything from cereals to oatmeal (Baby Bear, Mama Bear, Papa Bear, and Big Bad Wolf porridge—how cute!). The eggs section is titled “Extraordinary Eggs & Omelets” leaving nothing to be discussed. There’s even sweet breakfast options, such as pancakes and French toast. I went for the classic Eggs Benedict, and from now on, I will hold all other eggs benedicts to Sara’s standard. The enormous, nearly-bursting poached eggs were set atop a thick, round-cut slice of Canadian smoked ham, which was set atop a thick, round muffin. It was as if the entire thing was formed in a cookie cutter, it was so perfect and round. Plus, it tasted delicious. The Hollandaise had a lovely kick, the eggs cooked to perfection, the ham plenty thick and tasty, and the spongy muffin soaked in all of it. On the side, she had a choice of muffin (oh, the choices: English, corn, bran, banana, pumpkin, berry corn), croissant, scone or toast. She chose the bran muffin, which was served with Sara’s famous preserves.
